The millionaire owner of 910AM Superstation pulled the plug on Black talk radio last month and replaced it with a lineup of conservative voices known for inciting outrage.

1. It's all about ratings. For some reason liberals don't listen to the radio as much as conservatives

I think it’s because liberals read which is why we rule the internet.

5. Podcasts.

I stopped listening to radio a long time ago. The reason why only fascist radio is profitable is because the core demographic is white boomer men.

6. Good point. Podcasts are the future for sure.

Yeah radio will go like other items in history.

8. Still, they used it to their advantage while it was there. Our side? Not so much.

40+ years of hate radio turned a bunch of privileged old white guys into raging bigots. The Republican Party has been courting the bigots & zealots for years & now the loons have climbed on board too.

on edit: Although we have our loons, too.

2. Adell doth protest too much?

3. "it's all about the money" is leading to our demise

[Zambero]

4. Here's a lead-in suggestion for this new right-wing format

Since Adell really and truly hates the subject matter of politics.

7. Actually, "it's all about the money" makes him a Republican

[tiredtoo]

9. Yes republicans put profits before people

They care about things, people not so much.
